Subject: [PATCH] ACPI video: print out a warning message when duplicate video bus devices under the same VGA controller are detected
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:16:48 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259140608.10510.62.camel@rzhang1-desktop> (raw)
Some buggy BIOS exports multiple ACPI video bus devices for the same
VGA controller, and multiple backlight control methods as well.
This may mess up the ACPI video backlight control.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13577
We should at least send out a warning message in this case.
